This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled rds; Reset rs->rs_bound_addr in rds_add_bound() failure path to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: rds-reset-rs-rs_bound_addr-in-rds_add_bound-failure-path.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Tue Apr 10 10:31:53 CEST 2018 From: Sowmini Varadhan <sowmini.varadhan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2017 09:38:59 -0800 Subject: rds; Reset rs->rs_bound_addr in rds_add_bound() failure path From: Sowmini Varadhan <sowmini.varadhan@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7ae0c649c47f1c5d2db8cee6dd75855970af1669 ] If the rds_sock is not added to the bind_hash_table, we must reset rs_bound_addr so that rds_remove_bound will not trip on this rds_sock. rds_add_bound() does a rds_sock_put() in this failure path, so failing to reset rs_bound_addr will result in a socket refcount bug, and will trigger a WARN_ON with the stack shown below when the application subsequently tries to close the PF_RDS socket.
